THE GOD OF VISIONS
Habakkuk 1:12-2:3
Friday, January 8, 2015
Many persons are exposed to the revelation of the God that answers by fire, or popularly called, the God of Elijah. But there is another dimension of God, you may call it the God of Habakkuk; the God that answers by visions.
So the Prophet Habakkuk lodged a major complaint to God on how the Babylonians were oppressing the Israelites and God said, this is my answer to your prayer; write a vision/ write the vision. How can a vision be an answer to a prayer? Selah
He further gave instructions that this vision must not be ambiguous, but plain. It must be in a conspicuous place (tables). Perhaps the most exciting essence of the written vision is that it has the ability to put strength into the bones and muscles of the reader, such that it makes him run.
The secret to speed in life is neither strength nor anointing; it is a clear and conspicuous vision. Now God said, write anything, create the answer you want to see, and wait on my faithfulness.
Sometimes God supplies an express vision; other times he would have us dream in line with his word, either ways, write the vision! Man in history has most times missed his answers, he prays for what he has already because he does not have a clear picture/understanding of what he wants.
For many decades the Jews prayed and waited for Jesus, but when he came, they could not identify him. They never understood the picture and nature of their answer. What does your answer look like? What is a successful year for you? Write it down!
SELAH: God wants to do more than your vision, but have one first.
